Abstract The Daphne alpina (D. alpina) mediated silver oxide nanoparticles ( Ag2O-NPs) were synthesized and loaded with moxifloxacin (MAg2O-NPs) using sonochemical process. The surface area and pore parameters were determined through Brunauer– Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda methods using N 2 adsorption–desorption data. The mixed phase (cubic, tetragonal and hexagonal) synthesis of Ag2O-NPs and loading of moxifloxacin was confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis and the average crystallite size for Ag2O-NPs and MAg2O-NPs were 38.52 and 41.03 nm respectively. The transmission and scanning electron microscopies were utilized to study surface morphology, indicate that the visible boundaries disappeared after the functionalization of A g2O-NPs with moxifloxacin. The chemical composition of both samples was analyzed via energy dispersive X-ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. Agar well diffusion method was followed to test the Ag2O-NPs and MAg2O-NPs against selected microorganism. The bactericidal and fungicidal effects of M Ag2O-NPs were significantly higher than the Ag2O-NPs. Keywords Silver · Nanoparticle · Moxifloxacin · Functionalized · Antimicrobial

because of inappropriate and extensive use of broad spectrum antibiotics, which increases the cost of health-care many folds [1]. Thus, the health care study is focusing on the on the production of cost effective, non-toxic and novel antimicrobial agents [2–4]. The functionalization of nanomaterials with biologically active compounds led to the formation of advance materials having unique physiochemical and therapeutic properties [5]. These materials have ultrafine size with large surface to volume ratio, highly active and are compatible for surface modifications [6]. Several
